Pediatric Urologist

Pediatric Urologist

A Pediatric Urologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats urinary system problems in children, including issues related to the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, as well as problems with the male reproductive organs. Because children’s bodies are still growing and developing, pediatric urologists have advanced training to manage these delicate and sometimes complex conditions in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents.

They work closely with pediatricians and other specialists to provide safe, precise, and compassionate surgical care tailored to the delicate needs of growing bodies. Their goal is to ensure the best possible outcomes for children through both emergency and planned surgeries.

Why is a Pediatric Urologist Important?

Children’s urinary problems are often different from adults and require special attention, both medically and emotionally. A Pediatric Urologist understands the specific challenges of diagnosing and treating urinary and genital problems in young patients. They use child-friendly techniques, minimally invasive surgeries when needed, and offer compassionate care to both the child and their family.

What Does a Pediatric Urologist Treat?

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidney due to urine buildup)
• Kidney stones in children
• Vesicoureteral reflux (urine flowing backward from the bladder to the kidneys)
• Posterior urethral valves (blockage in the urethra in baby boys)
• Undescended testicles
